Do you have more respect for miles because of the last week? Or indifferent?

And glad he got his offer. He worked his arse of for it. Like Hilliard says, no cielings!

Ed, first of all congrats on Dylan's offer. I don't have an opinion one way or the other about what Miles does with his team. I've learned that a lot more goes on behind the scenes than fans realize. I know this next statement I'm about to make will probably stir up some shite here, but here goes...As far as where Garrett decides to attend college, we are not looking at it from a fans point of view. LSU is under consideration just like each of the other schools that have and will offer. It will come down to who is the best fit for what he wants his college experience to be, and where he feels the most comfortable and wanted. If that's LSU then so be it, if not I can except that too. I'm not pushing him one way or the other. Like I said earlier, I've seen and heard some behind the scences stuff that the armchair fan has no idea about.

At LSU in particular or speaking in general terms? I think the "behind the scenes" stuff goes on at every program, you may just have more familiarity with LSU. Regardless, hopefully it doesn't skew your perspective.

Let me clarify. I wasn't referring to anything illegal or unethical. I was referring to the evaluation processes the universities and the student athlete's use to make there decisions. As strictly a fan, some don't see it like that.

I wasn't saying I was a father of a recruit.... I was referring to you.

The national sites can easily overlook talented players and become "starstruck"

I personally think the LSU staffs policy of evaluating guys at camp has, and will continue to pay big dividends. The guys who earned camp offers, like Garrett, have always turned out to be really big contributors at LSU under miles.
